I carry Emmarly back to her house in my arms, almost forgetting to put my mask back in my bag. I knock on the door and what seems to be Emmarly's dad, opens the door.
"Mr. Itsen? Is it okay if I bring Emmarly inside? She was trying to find out a dangerous case and the villain made her go unconscious. I found her on the ground outside and decided to bring her back here."
"Of course boy, bring yourself in along with her. Worry for the worse or may be the last worry! Come in, come in." He spoke in odd words, like poetry. I bring us both inside and I he guides me to Emmarly's room. I place her down on her bed gently, making sure not to harm her back.
I lift her shirt to check her back, I studied physical health and continue to study further on the subject, so I know how to handle many injuries. I see a large bruise from where Reese sat to hold her down. I wince just from seeing the bruise.
From my bag, I pull out some ice I keep in a small storage container for emergencies such as this. I wrap the ice in a bag and cloth and place it on her back. I crack two cooling pads and set them on each side of her bruise. I put a blanket over her and leave her room.
Her room was a nice lily pink with an intricate yet simple pattern painted on it. She had an orange tabby cat laying in the corner, and above his little living space was his name, age and his feeding schedule. Tobathy II, fitting for this little furball.
I pet Tobathy II and give him a can of tuna from my bag that I was going to eat later. I write a quick note on a sticky-note and leave it next to Tobathy II's space.
'Hi Emmarly! Hope you feel better. Hope you dont mind, but I gave Tobathy II some tuna! - Percy 12'
I open the door and walk back out to the living room and sit down with Mr. Itsen. I look around and see pillars wrapped in Navy blue cloths, a beautiful kitchen island in the next room over with fruit baskets, pastry trays and assortments of fine cheeses.
"So, how do you know my little Emmarly?" Her dad asks, no longer in tongues; his hands hold his resting head on them while his arms bounce from his anxious legs. Clearly intrigued from the look in his eyes.
"Well, we're school friends, although I only came into the school less then a week ago, she and her friend Abbigail took quite a liking to me. And here we are. Though I didnt expect to see what I saw today." I say with a laugh as he hands me a tart.
I take a bite and he starts to ask me questions.
"So, How come you were the one to find Emmarly? She says you're kind of suspicious."
"Me? Suspicious? Can't be! She's been falling for me since she first saw me if I'm being honest. I keep catching her staring at me in class or keeps bumping into me in Physical Education." I chuckle off as I take a bite of the tart. Its sweet and dense, almost like Emmarly.
"Alright uhm, what's your name? It starts with a P, yes?"
"Oh yeah, my name name is Percy 12. And before there's confusion there is no Percy 11 or something like that, my parents just wanted to have my name have a number in it. Theres always a lot of confusion on my name."
He nods and takes a tart from the tray.
We tell jokes and stories for a few minutes until we heard groaning coming from down the hall.
Mr. Itsen and I rush down the platted hallway to see if Emmarly is okay. We open the door as Tobathy II hisses at Mr. Itsen as he runs over to the bed.
"Emmarly, are you okay? Your back looks super bruised!"
"I think I'll be okay dad, I think I might've gotten hit with debris while I was running out of the building, I think that's how I fell unconscious." With an IQ of 178, you know damn well when someone is lying.
"Can I just talk to Percy 12 for a bit?"
"Sure." Mr. Itsen said as he stood in the room, patiently.
"Alone?" She had to lift her head off the bed so she could speak without her voice being muffled. It was nice to hear her voice if I'm being honest, she wasn't scary or threatening, not pointing a gun at my father and Marcius.
Mr. Itsen nodded and left the room closing the door ever so slowly, incase we started talking and he wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation.
He closed the door And the conversation started.
"Listen. I know you're a villain Percy 12. I saw everything, heard everything. I had to lie about the bruise because I know your father sat on me to make me pass put. I heard everything!" She started shouting and I flinched.
"Emmarly listen, we're keeping eachother in our jobs. I'm keeping you on your toes, and not to mention you get paid for it. With an IQ of 170, you'd think you'd realize our importance to eachother." I chuckle as I stroke her hair to get her glasses. I fog them up to clean them and in the corner of my eye, I can see her cheeks go rosy.
"Wait, did you switch out my glasses?!"
"Calm down Emmarly. I switched them out because they were shattered, you could've gotten a serious cut on your face. Just looking out for you. Just because we're sworn enemies doesnt mean we cant be friends."
"I'm pretty sure it does. How about this; we can be friends in school and when we aren't battling it out on the streets of Preena?"
"Sounds fair." I chuckle and she joins me. Until realization hit her face.
"Did you go through my school records Percy 12?" She flirted as she sat up to face me.
"I'm a villain, of course I did. Plus, I find you incredibly interesting. I know that every grade you've gotten is a 96, except for language arts, which is 100. Tells me someone likes literature and writing."
"Finally! Someone to figure that out! Most people think I love sciences and maths but I love literature! The different techniques and styles! People say I look like a nerd because of my glasses..."
"Emmarly, we go to a school full of nerds. If anything they're just jealous because you're cute." I laugh with her, making her feel better is... nice. She's nice.
"Theres no way a hot nerd just called me a cute nerd!" She laughs as she hits me in the arm. I laugh with her as her rosy smile makes me want to smile and continue to laugh. Like when you're at a sleepover and when someone says 'shhh, guys we have to go to sleep now' and everyone just laughs more.
"Thanks for icing my back Percy 12, it feels a lot better."
"Its no problem Emmarly, gotta take care of the people you care about." I stop and realize what I said. My face feels warm and I stop to reflect.
"Sorry, I'm not good when it comes to emotions! Or words!" I flusteredly mutter out as she laughs lightheartedly.
"Its okay Percy 12, I know what you mean." I look down at my phone and see the time.
"Oh god! It's almost 10! School starts soon! Will you be okay to go?" I start to pack my things up and slip out an extra can of tuna for Tobathy.
"Yeah I'll be okay. You better get going though, I'll see you there though." She gets up and waves to me before I run up to the door. Just before I go she shouts at me.
"Stop feeding Tobathy extra Tuna!"
